Scorsese’s ‘Wolf of Wall Street’ Release Date

The highly anticipated project by Scorsese, ‘Wolf of Wall Street,’ has finally received a release date. The film will debut November 15, 2013 just in time for awards season.

The all-star cast includes Leonardo DiCaprio, Jonah Hill, and Matthew McConaughey. For the last few months, the cast has been filming the movie based on a novel by Jordan Belfort.

The movie tells the story of Jordan Belfort, an American businessman who was convicted of stock market manipulation. The film follows his journey of life in the fast lane during the 1980s.

Date Night Pick of the Week: “The Paperboy”

Your date will feel extra special when she finds out that you are not taking her to just any movie this weekend. “The Paperboy” is only playing in select theaters across the country, giving you plenty of time to chat it up with your date on your drive.

Based on a 1995 novel, “The Paperboy” has a cast that is sure to impress your lady. Matthew McConaughey, Nicole Kidman, Zac Efron, John Cusack, and Oscar-nominated director Lee Daniels debuted “The Paperboy” at this year’s Cannes Film Festival.

“The Paperboy” is definitely not your average film. You have to enter the theater with the mindset that you are going for the acting, not the plot. We will admit that the movie is all over the place, but that will make for great conversation when you grab a bite to eat later on.

Many have referred  to the “The Paperboy” as a “trash masterpiece” and “so bad it’s good.” There’s only one way to find out what that means, and that is by going the extra mile to see it this weekend, literally.

To give you a better idea of what you’re in for, check out the trailer below:

Matthew McConaughey has been added to Martin Scorsese’s wolf pack in The Wolf of Wall Street. McConaughey is set to play Mark Hanna, the boss and mentor of Leonardo DiCaprio’s character, Jordan Belfort. Although it is not a major role in the film, it will be a huge moment in McConaughey’s career to work under Scorsese.

The movie follows a drug-addicted stockbroker who was found guilty for security fraud and money laundering in 1998. He is currently serving a 22-year sentence in prison. Scenes reveal the excessive partying and tumultuous lifestyle of Wall Street’s finest during the 1980s.

Matthew McConaughey’s Magic Mike and Killer Joe are currently in theaters. The Wolf of Wall Street begins filming in New York City this month.

A Weekend Divided

Source: 999thepoint.com

Ladies across the country will be flocking to the movies this weekend — and not to see Ted. The fluffy teddy bear will be competing with Hollywood’s hottest for the #1 spot at the box office this weekend.

Magic Mike debuts this weekend with its 6-pack cast which includes Matthew McConaughey, Channing Tatum, and Joe Manganiello.

Date night will have to wait until next weekend for most, as groups of guys and gals will be meeting up to see their respective movies. For probably the first time in box office history, couples will be splitting up and then meeting up in the lobby after the movie this weekend.

This weekend’s box office is a true battle of the sexes to determine which film will end up on top. That is if they can knock Pixar’s Brave from it’s reign at the box office of course.

People Like Us will serve as the happy medium for those who do not wish to part ways at the theater.

What will it be this weekend, BIGSTAR fans? Ted or Mike?

Movie Trailer: McConaughey is a Psychotic Hitman in ‘Killer Joe’

From Oscar winning director, William Friedkin (‘The French Connection’ & ‘The Exorcist’), ‘Killer Joe’ is a tightly wound Texas-noir tale of murder, sex and drugs.  Matthew McConaughey plays Joe, a seductive cop who also moonlights as a vicious hitman in the new NC-17 thriller.  Thomas Haden Church brings some of the dark comedy as the simple-minded, beer-drinking Ansel, while Gina Gershon and Emile Hirsch provide the needed energy to round out the gutsy film.

‘Killer Joe’ competed and premiered at the 68th Venice Film Festival before making its North American debut at the 2011 Toronto International Film Festival.

If you’re a fan of Matthew McConaughey, especially when he’s not in romantic comedies, then you’ll love ‘The Lincoln Lawyer’ available on BIGSTAR!  (just click the banner)
